As Close as You Can Get to Chemistry Magic! | John Thomas | TEDxYouth@ABPatersonCollege

[ScottNeill]

Oh my god, this is one of my old chemistry teachers from Bishop Gore school in Swansea. I will never forget his classes, things blew up and caught fire every week. Stuff of magic! Surreal seeing him and hearing his voice here after so long

[davidurfer]

Rarely is the best teacher the most knowledgeable teacher. More often it is the teacher that shares their passion and love of the subject with their students. Grabbing and holding ones attention is one of the best ways to start the learning process. It's not the knowledge the teacher has, but rather the knowledge they are able to pass onto their students.

[BingoBoiJim]

I feel like the audience isn't giving this guy enough credit

[quimiclan]

Thank you for such a well organized presentation full of relevant information, it was a pleasure to listen to it!

[sebastianzaczek]

Take a shot of liquid nitrogen Everytime he says "basically"

[miranda.cooper]

The camera man needs to learn to set focus and then set it to manual to keep focus lol

[mephistovonfaust]

Good talk but that close up camera was pretty much the worst I've ever seen from a TEDx video.

[jeremy_rigged]

I'm glad he wore his tap shoes...

[drivenbycuriosity]

Now, only if we have teachers like this in schools/colleges

[thenobleone-]

Learning elements of the periodic table and what elements react with each other. Doing experiments is fun when u know what u are doing

[cheshirewarcat]

This video is about 5 times louder than the last Tedx video I watched and just about blew my speakers and ear drums out. How about some continuity guys?

[STONEDay]

Magic without smoke and mirrors. Just lots of smoke!

[JeremieBPCreation]

The only experiment I had not already done in high school, at 4:10, he doesn't explain! Are you kidding me?

[jubjubs]

passionate heh, he must have been tired that day.

[eggsnhashbrowns]

am i the only one that likes him? dont be such downers, dont watch it if its boring.

[someidiot]

How did he do that one where he changed the color of the solution instantly?

[michaelb]

Cudos for the pan at physicists! 🎉😂

I am curious what ratio you had the hydrogen gas mixed with oxygen in the balloon ? Or was that a wee fib..? As I saw when Hydrogen meets oxygen there's an explosion. My high school Chemistry teacher used to get a 3 litre plastic bottle of frozen oxygen and a 3 litre bottle of frozen hydrogen and place them a sensible distence apart and pull stings on the lids and it didn't take long for a big boom.
